I would think about 6'4 but some people play it at different heights, Mathias for instance I play as 6'6.

An interesting question, I guess you're asking because of those that don't have descriptions?

well the model would be a certain hight, regardless of peoples descriptions, im just interested in the base fact.

I think 6'4 is way too tall to be the average height they would make the model. but i am curious as to what it really is.

I would say it is somewhere between 5'9 and 6 since that's average height for most of the world,i dont think they would make the models much above average height
My family were all knights,but none protected those who cannot fight for themselves.They all cared about their noble status more than anything else.I would be a true knight,i would train on the ways of the paladin -Arcavius Ryde

Humans in NWN are modeled to be 2 meters tall, which is almost 6 foot 7 inches in freedom units.

crazyness! looks like DarkDreamer was right.. thats just weird though.

I guess i understand its simpler to model in the strict units without making decimals.

ah, correction.

looking in the Aurora editor and using a flat placeable as a measuring stick.

the human male model is actually 6'0.5 inches tall. not exactly 2 meters.

Have you ever looked at how big the doors are compared to the character models? It's hilarious.

Are thes placeables a reliable measuring atick?

Just asking cuz every building in the module and even in the campaign have a tardis like quality in that they're all bigger on the inside.

fixtures with no Z axis (runic floor markings, carpets, puddles, etc. are as close to accurate as one can really get without taking the model out of the game and putting in a 3D program and measuring it exactly.

and even these fixtures are not COMPLETELY on the 0 of their fixtures Z axis, otherwise youd see flickering, they are about 3-5cm off the fixture Z axis.

however since (afaik) the characters can only be scaled by 10% increments, absolute scale isnt really possible.

{EDIT}

And yea the doors are crazy huge, 2 meters wide and 3 meters tall
